Description:
A stamping press is a stationary machine used to stamp a pattern or shape into metal, useful for creating items that use a standard pattern (files, nails, bullets, etc.). Presses are vital for any kind of mass production as they will turn out a nearly identical product repeatedly, making parts interchangeable. Facilities without electricity rely on the weight of the ram's impact for stamping, with a hand crank to raise it between each use; this is slower and more labor-intensive than relying on mechanical power, but will still get the job done. The press can also be used for vanity purposes, stamping a company/faction/personal logo on every piece.
